any important command, but finally he
wGs selected by "Chinese" Gordon to
a sub-command in his famous expedi-
ton to Central Africa, the object OF
which was to complete the work left
unfinished by Sir Samuel Baker-that
is. the determination of the slave trade,
the annexation Of the Central African
region to the flag of the Khedive,
and the establishment OF trading
posts on the plateaux Of Cen.
tral Africa. Chaille-Long, after hard
fighting with the natives, reached
King Mise, whose kingdom had pre-
viously been visited by Stanley on his
second expedition, and which territory
extends to the shores OF the Victoria
Nyanza. For bis labors he received
the praises of his commander and the
khediye and the recognition of hume
rous geographical bodies. His claims
to the title OF discoverer of one of the
major sources of the Nile provoked
warm controversy, still unsettled. On
his return to Lower Egypt the explorer
presented the Khedive with large
quantity of ivory, the proceeds of the
sale of which added handsomely to the
coin in the impoverished treasury. He
did not remain any considerable time
in the service of Egypt, but in 1876 re-
turned to the United States to engage
in the study of law. He was appointed
clerk to the New York Board of Police
Justices, an office which he held until
November, 1881. In 1882 he sailed for
Egypt, with the purpose to practice his
profession before the international
tribunal. He arrived just on the eve
of the Alexandria complications. The

American Consul General was absent,
and the Consular Agent, an Austrian
subject, abandoned his post. At the
solicitation Of American residents
Chaille-Long assumed control, and not
only gave aid and refuge to fugitives
before the bombardment, but, entering
the city on the morning Of the 18th OF
July, while it was being sacked and
burned, secured such information
as led the English Admiralty to
occupy the town the same day.
On tie morning OF the 14th, with
100 United States soldiers and sailors
placed at his disposal by Rear-Admiral
Nicholson, commanding the United
States vessels-of- in port, he not
only re-established the United States
Consulate, but for two days administered
the affairs of the other consulates whose
buildings had been burned. In accept
ing his resignation as Consul the State
Department expressed its thigh APP
probation OF his services rendered IN
the interest of humanity during the re-
cent active operations at Alexandria.
Charles Chaille-Long is now about
forty-fve years OF age, Of middle
height, fine military bearing, and fluent
in French and Arabic. The above por-

TO begin with, the bathing-boxes are
made attractive and light by their can
vas covers stretched over pretty
shaped framework of wood. A mirror
and rack of fresh towels, basin, and
such necessities of the dressing room
adorn the interior, as well as soft rug
on the floor. The bathing-master is III

rope, which hangs inside the door,
brings his alert little person to the
bath. house to do the bidding OF the oc-
cupant. This cheerful attendant ar
ranges monsieur's bathing wardrobe
and dressing-case and provides him
with warm water, all for the modest
sum of one franc. When the bather
is arranged in his bathing-suit
of careful cut, with his long
mantle deity adjusted by his valet
of the bath, he daintily treads
his way toward the platform extending
ont into the water, and which ends in a
spring He makes up bis mind
as be wanders along to the shock OF his
first leap into the blue water. Another
bathing-man is ready to receive our
gentleman as soon as he shall reach the
first breaker to help him to swim if he
shall need such assistance or tell him
where are the safe places. On the OPP
posite side are the bathing machines
for the ladies, with neat little coiffed
maid in attendance. Here there is the
extra garment Of the bath. the cork
jacket, which the polite little mistress
Of the bath insists that madame shall

considered too long for bath at Tro-

resort half an hour is thought to be
quite enough, If not wicked waste OF
precious time. Such is the difference

The Queen at Lord Salisbury's.

The announcement that the Queen
would attend a garden party at Hat
field caused Lord and Lady Salisbury
and oil their relatives and people to be
so bombarded with petitions for invl-
tations that the papers were desired TO
state that there would not be a garden
party, and the invitations were limited
to $50, the list being sent to the Queen
for her approval. MIR. Chamberlain
was the sole representative OF the
Unionists, as Lord Harrington, who
was invited, could not go, owing to his
absence in Lancashire. The Queen ar
rived at Hatfield House at 5, and
alielted from her carriage at the
cloister entrance in order to avoid the
steps. Her Majesty went first to the
summer drawing.room. where she re-
ceived her relatives and Lord Sails
bury's family, and she then went to the
morning room, where she drank tea,
leaving at Gas. The company
refreshed themselves in Barons
hall, which was beautifully deco
rated with flowers. The Queen
looked very well indeed, and seemed in
the best of spirits. She wore dress of
black MORE and lace and white bonnet
trimmed with black lace and white
flowers. There were nearly as many
royalties as at the Buckingham Palace
garden party, and all the Indian visitors.
These were the principal incidents Of

Dragons bones.

In Europe fossil bones found to-
gether in caves were long known IS
dragons bones and accounted useful in
medicine. Indeed, so great was the
demand for these and similar relies
that our museums and scientific men
have good cause to rejoice that their
ancestors failed to discover what
stores of old bones lay hidden in
our seabosrd caves, as, for in
stance, in that wonderful Kirkdalo
cavern where the mortal remains OF
several hundred hyenas were found
guarding the teeth OF baby mammoth,
a patrisrchal tiger, rhinocerus, anil
q hippopotsmus; or the caves along
the Norfolk coast, where Hugh Miller
tells us that within thirteen years the
oyster-dredgcrs dragged up the tusks
and grinders of five hundred mann
moths; or those wonderful zoolo-
gical cemeteries where the fossil
bones of cave lions, cave hye-
mas, elephants, mammoths, hippo
potami, woolly rhinoceri, red deer, and
fallow deer, oxen, sheep, and horses.
have lain so securely stored for untold
ages beneath Charing Cross and Ira
falgar Square. After all, this reduc-
ton Of prehistoric bones and ivory to
vulgar powders for medicinal use is not
more strange than the fossil food which
forms SO large partof the daily bread
of multitudes of our fellow-creatures
in Lapland, Finland, and Sweden,
in Carolina and Florida, on the banks
OF the Orinoco and on the Amazon,
where vast tracts of earth are
found composed wholly Of myriads
of microscopic shells, and this
strange mountain meal, being duly
mixed with meal OF thenineteenth cen
tury, is freely eaten by the people. In
Lapland alone hundreds Of wagon
loads are annually dug from one great
field, and there are men who eat as
much as pound and half per diem
OF this curious coldiment. We hear
of fields, as yet untouched, having been
discovered in Bohemia, Hungary, and
other parts of Europe SO perhaps we
may ere long add these primeyal atoms
TO the delicacies Of our own tables.
